Having visited few villages on the outskirts of Zvornik municipality, Bosnia-Herzegovina, last weekend I could not but admire the returnees to Zvornik.
The constant dilemma in the mind of a returned refugee - to return or not - is overpowered by the shier will to prevail in the quest to reclaim the right of return. Of course, this quest is defined in different terms by those who've returned to their homes - the sense of pride coupled with the basic human desire to return home.
After watching these people talk about their hardship and such desire to return home, I ask myself who can, if ever, say that 200 million Euros (as BiH Parliament concluded) is the final bid before the process of return is officially declared over. Would this be enough for over a million of those still living outside Bosnia to return? Who will decide that their right exists no more? Who will say on behalf of the state that return of refugees is no longer an outstanding issue on the agenda?
Some questions to ponder till next time.
